sesame soba noodle bowl

Makes 4 servings: 2 cups each Surprisingly, the biggest caloric issue with sesame noodles is often not the sesame oil or the peanut butter … it’s the actual noodles. So here’s how I solve this quandary. Bell peppers basically become part of the noodles to provide fewer calories and bigger flavor. You’ll cook the bell peppers right along with the noodles; so there’s no extra cooking step required either. This cool meal-in-one is a definite winner (for lunch, dinner or a picnic) for my eyes and palate. It was for my summer intern, Sarah Gelman, too (who helped me test this recipe). Hoping you fall in love with this delicious dish like we did. Please let us know what you...

sweet and sour napa cabbage salad

Makes 6 servings: 4 cups each When I was back in Ohio for Christmas, my sister, Rebecca, handed me a recipe that she requested I personally make-over for her. Since diabetes runs in our family, she was concerned about the calories—especially the sugar calories—in the salad. (It can always be surprising how many hidden calories can be found in a seemingly healthful salad!) Her recipe is an adapted version of the popular Gruner Salad from Good’s Wine Cellar Restaurant. If you want to try the true, decadent original, check it out if ever in Kewanee, Illinois. But if you’d like to try my delightful version, here you go. I promise it’ll spectacularly please all of your tastebuds! Calories Saved: 180
